Question:
Heavy water is _________.
Heavy water is _________.
Updated On: Jul 12, 2024
- (A) Monoterium oxide
- (B) Polyterium oxide
- (C) Deuterium oxide
- (D) Tritium oxide
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Explanation:
Heavy water (D2O), also called deuterium oxide. Heavy water is used as a moderator in some reactors because it slows down neutrons effectively and also has a low probability of absorption of neutrons. Hence, the correct option is (C).
